1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 The premise is pretty good -- after years of not seeing each other, a one-off reunion concert to satisfy a contract. I'll wait and see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IbanezJem Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 I saw this story yesterday, and I`m pretty happy about it. I trust the people involved enough to know they`d only do it if it was a worthwhile endeavour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozzy85 Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 The idea is cool and given the talent involved it could be pretty good. I vote yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Hollywood is just reboots, remakes, sequels and films about comic book characters that were written 50 years ago. They're out of ideas 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

condemned2bfree Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Just don't point at it, don't look at it even. Seen enough of that one. Could work, if done right - not trying to match the original on its own merit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nova Carmina Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Oh, it's hard to catch lightning in a bottle twice. Just leave well enough alone! I vote no, but if it turns out hilarious, I'll be happy to watch it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughedatbytime Posted May 14 Author Share Posted May 14 Everyone involved as a primary creator with the original is a master of their craft. If it's 50% as funny as the first one I'd be ecstatic. I have a copy of Break Like the Wind collecting dust somewhere. Something along those lines would be a complete disaster and embarrassment.

They're out of ideas I get it why a lot of people are against it. I find the premise to match the cynicism of whats going on now. I just think it could work. Sounds plausible. It's just gotta be done right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tangy Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 I say yes. The music industry is way more of a shit show now , with new and stupid things to ridicule. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union 5-3992 Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 As much as I hate lazy sequels and re-boots, this one could actually work given the music industry is much more different now. Plus if they can skewer the damn near ancient rock bands still performing arena shows. I'll just wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbale Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 I would LOVE to be proven wrong on this, because Tap is in my top 10 films of all time...but I think it's a bad idea. If you look at Christopher Guest's last film, Mascots, it could not hold a candle to Waiting For Guffman - it's just a tired, lazy, carbon copy of better films. I'm really scared that the Spinal Tap sequel is going to be similar. The last thing I remember them doing in character, some interview segments that came with the Back From The Dead album, were pretty lacklustre and really did feel lazy. Those 4 guys and their supporting cast made one of the funniest movies of all time - I'd really be disappointed if they tarnished it. As I said, it would be a big damn smile if they prove me wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apetersvt Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 I thought they already made a sequel. It wasn't that good, so I don't think this Spinal Tap 2 would be a good idea. But as others have mentioned, I too hope I am wrong and would love to see another classic. ""A two-hour, made-for-TV sequel, The Return of Spinal Tap, was broadcast and released on video in 1992 to promote Break Like the Wind. It consisted mostly of footage from an actual Spinal Tap concert at the Royal Albert Hall. In it the "Stonehenge" joke from the original movie is referenced, as the new, large prop is instead too big to get into the venue."" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
